The final stretch of Big Brother 27 is officially underway, and the September 26, 2025, episode will deliver the first major piece of the endgame puzzle. After weeks of shifting alliances, blindsides, and power struggles, the houseguests faced both an emotional goodbye and the grueling start of the three-part final Head of Household competition. With the jury now complete and only three players left in the house, every second of tonight’s episode and its aftermath matters.

Ava Evicted in the Live Show

The evening will begin with the last eviction before finale week. Ava was sent packing in the September 26 live episode, sealing her fate as the final jury member. It was a tough loss for her allies, and it set the stage for an intense endgame. Ava’s departure meant that only Morgan, Vince, and Ashley remained inside the house with a shot at the $750,000 prize.

The eviction will also clarify the battlefield: each of the Final 3 has very different strengths. Morgan has been dominant in competitions, Vince has relied on strategy and social bonds, and Ashley has navigated the game with persistence and flexibility. With Ava now out, the three remaining players know the jury is watching closely, weighing every move.

Final HOH Part 1: Endurance and Pressure

Immediately after Ava’s eviction, the show pivoted into the final HOH competition. Tonight’s episode featured Part 1 of the traditional three-stage HOH battle. This round is usually an endurance test, designed to push players to their physical and mental limits. The stakes are simple: the winner of Part 1 gets a direct ticket to the third and final round of HOH, while the losers are forced to face off in Part 2.

The feeds, which came back after the broadcast, revealed the results quickly. Morgan outlasted both Vince and Ashley to secure the Part 1 win. Morgan emerged victorious in what houseguests described as an “insane” competition. She herself told Vince it was “insane,” while Vince, exhausted and frustrated, called it “ridiculous.” In a moment of candor, Vince admitted, “You are just having the success I dreamt of having.” The exchange underscored just how dominant Morgan has been in the season’s latter stages.

Morgan Secures Her Place in Part 3

Morgan’s victory is more than just another notch in her competition résumé — it guarantees her a spot in the final round of the HOH, which will air live on finale night. Winning Part 1 provides a huge advantage: it allows her to skip the middle round entirely, saving her energy and focus for the decisive showdown. Morgan now gets to rest while Vince and Ashley must go head-to-head in Part 2, with the winner earning the chance to face her in Part 3.

This sets up a fascinating dynamic. Vince, though shaken, still has fight in him. Ashley, who has fought from behind much of the season, knows this is her moment to prove she belongs in the finale. Both now face the pressure of a do-or-die competition. Meanwhile, Morgan sits comfortably with the knowledge that she cannot be eliminated before the last HOH battle.

Strategic Implications for the Final 3

The outcome of Part 1 already alters the Final 3 landscape. For Morgan, this win is another strong argument for her jury résumé. She has proven her ability to dominate in physical competitions and stay calm under pressure. The challenge now is whether she can balance her strong competitive record with jury management, as sometimes jurors see dominance as threatening rather than admirable.

For Vince, losing Part 1 was a blow, but he still has a chance to reset in Part 2. His confession to Morgan about dreaming of her success highlights both his frustration and the jury narrative forming around him. If he can win Part 2 and make a strong case in Part 3, he could still reach the end and pitch himself as the more strategic, less threatening option.

Ashley’s path is tougher, but not impossible. She has been resilient all season, surviving weeks where her name was floated as a target. Winning Part 2 against Vince would not only propel her into Part 3, but it would also bolster her case to the jury that she can compete when it matters most.

The Final Week Schedule

Tonight’s broadcast will cover Part 1 of the HOH. Part 2 will air in the next episode, showcasing Vince and Ashley battling for the last shot at the final round. The live finale, airing in just days, will feature Part 3 of the HOH and the last eviction of the season, immediately followed by the jury’s vote to crown the winner of Big Brother 27.

This pacing means fans don’t have long to wait. Every remaining episode carries enormous weight, and the suspense is designed to build to a climax on finale night.

Jury Stakes and the Endgame

With Ava now seated in the jury house, the nine-person panel is complete. They will deliberate based on competition wins, strategic moves, and social relationships formed inside the house. The HOH results from this week will heavily influence how each finalist is perceived. Did they fight their way into the Final 2, or did they rely on others to get there? Did they control their destiny, or did they get carried along?

Morgan, Vince, and Ashley each bring a different story to the table. Morgan can argue dominance. Vince can argue strategy and resilience. Ashley can argue perseverance. Ultimately, the jury will decide which narrative resonates most.

Looking Ahead

As of Big Brother tonight, Morgan sits firmly in control, having locked her place in the final round of HOH. Vince and Ashley, meanwhile, prepare for an all-important Part 2 duel. With Ava’s eviction fresh, the jury complete, and the finale on the horizon, every move is magnified. Whether Morgan continues her streak, Vince finds redemption, or Ashley crafts an underdog triumph, the finish line is in sight.
